3) How long is the session timeout? Could the session management be modified somehow? I've been "surpsrised" already several times when solving bigger puzzles - sometimes I just don't have time to do it in one go, so I leave the partial solution for a few hours, than come back, finish the solution, and learn that 'if you were logged on..."

I've put in a "hack" that may (...) fix this, keep me posted..

The solver rating is still missing for me (Chrome 19.0.1084.46). I see an empty set of parentheses after the star rating.

Very annoying that I can't reproduce that here.If this happens, and you open the Developer console (Ctrl + Shift + j) do you see any error messages(in red) in the console?

[I was planning on sending the message below much earlier today, but got sidetracked and then had to leave the house. I just logged in again, and it seems like you have resolved the problem, as I now see the solver rating in parentheses. Would the info below have been helpful? ]

The first three are due to my ScriptNo blocking settings. I looked at the fourth and it is related to facebook code, so it's likely due to the third. Unless you're using social networking to display the solver rating, I don't see why any of those should matter. Which leaves the fifth...

I take it back; it's still broken. :( I can't see the solver rating now; but when I just opened up Chrome again, my previous session was restored, and I clearly saw the solver rating. I was on the 6x6 Difficult from 22 May, and I remember the rating was 40. Is that correct? If so, it means I'm not making it up. ;)

However, now when I go to that puzzle or any other (well, I didn't test them all; just a few from yesterday and today) the parentheses are empty again.

Something else weird; there is no interface for me to change the date. I recall another forum post regarding a calendar, and I don't see one. I had to go back in my browser to re-access the puzzle from yesterday. When I was on yesterday's puzzle, I did see the link labelled Today that brought me to the current puzzles.

There are also new error messages on the console:Uncaught ReferenceError: urchinTracker is not defined 3:476Uncaught ReferenceError: FB is not defined 3:518Refused to set unsafe header "Content-length"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null puzzle2.js:97Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'innerHTML' of null puzzle2.js:231

One of the elements that Chrome's ScriptNo extension is blocking (using the Antisocial setting, since I don't do use any social networking sites) is https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js. I don't see anything being loaded or blocked from ajax.googleapis.com. In fact, ajax.googleapis.com is a domain I've whitelisted.

Ok, good. So are you still seeing errors?

I have been testing by turning off my various blockers. Allowing all scripts by disabling ScriptNo didn't change anything. I'm also running Ghostery, and disabling that gave me the solver rating, but also the FB and G+ widgets (which I'm not a fan of, hence the blocking.)

Is it really necessary to use Facebook to display the solver rating? I trust you, Patrick, which is why I've whitelisted the calcudoku.org site on my blockers. But I don't trust Facebook farther than I can throw Mark Zuckerberg.

Don't get me started on the Facebook programming API...

No, of course Facebook is not necessary there. It's probably a call somewhere that assumes the Facebook codeis there, and when it isn't, some later code isn't executed. I'll check by blocking all.js myself and will see what happens...

Oh and my plan for world domination starts by first making everyone addicted to Calcudoku puzzles

And then charging $20/yr once they're hooked.

I would buy calcudoku stock before I bought Facebook stock, for sure. (and will! ;) )
